ABSTRACT
Ever tightening power caps constrain the sustained processing speed of modern processors. With computational sprinting, processors reserve a small power budget that can be used to increase processing speed for short bursts. Computational sprinting speeds up query executions that would otherwise yield slow response time. Common mechanisms used for sprinting include DVFS, core scaling, CPU throttling and application-specific accelerators.

Model-driven computational sprinting
EuroSys '18: Proceedings of the Thirteenth EuroSys ConferenceComputational sprinting speeds up query execution by increasing power usage for short bursts. Sprinting policy decides when and how long to sprint. Poor policies inflate response time significantly. We propose a model-driven approach that chooses ...
Computational Sprinting: Architecture, Dynamics, and Strategies
Computational sprinting is a class of mechanisms that boost performance but dissipate additional power. We describe a sprinting architecture in which many, independent chip multiprocessors share a power supply and sprints are constrained by the chips’ ...
Power Modeling for GPU Architectures Using McPAT
Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are very popular for both graphics and general-purpose applications. Since GPUs operate many processing units and manage multiple levels of memory hierarchy, they consume a significant amount of power. Although several ...
